The Story Behind Somi’s kitchen
Somi’s kitchen is more than just a Vietnamese restaurant — it’s the heartfelt vision of two passionate founders: Thu Son, a former CEO of one of Vietnam’s leading staffing service companies, and Minh, a Senior Field Service Engineer in the medical equipment industry with over two decades of dedication to precision, care, and excellence.
While our professional careers took us across industries and continents, our hearts have always remained tied to the comforting flavors of authentic Vietnamese food — especially dishes like Cơm Tấm (broken rice), Bánh Mì (Vietnamese baguette sandwiches), Phở (beef noodle soup), and flavorful vegan Vietnamese cuisine.
With Somi’s kitchen, we share our deep-rooted love for Vietnamese culinary tradition. Every dish we serve is a tribute to the tastes we grew up with — thoughtfully prepared with quality ingredients, rooted in authenticity, and served with heart.

Our company history and facts
I should be incapable of drawing a single stroke at the present moment; and yet I feel that I never was a greater artist than now.
